Arizona has reported seven more deaths from the Coronavirus, bringing the statewide total to 122. The number has nearly doubled from 65 a week ago.
The latest deaths were in Maricopa, Coconino and Apache counties. State health officials also reported more than 3,700 cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. That's up 163 since Sunday and nearly 1,250 from a week ago.
In a bid to help reduce COVID-19 risks in jails, 189 Maricopa County inmates who have already been sentenced were transferred from county jails to state prisons. Authorities say lowering the jail population creates space for quarantines if outbreaks were to occur there.
